A Simple and Modern Step Stool

I stand at 6-foot tall so it is rare that I am not able to reach something. My mother, however … well let us just say that I get my height from my father’s side of the gene pool. And so I made this stool for her in order for Dad to get a break from his job of reaching things on the top shelf.
The stool is based on a bench I saw by Marc Willers, which I saw surging on the web. Check out his work: http://www.willersfurniture.com/
